So those of you who have read this blog know I am sporadic at best. I could spend a paragraph apologizing for my inconsistencies, but I rather just jump back in. Splash.
The Shops:
I’m currently being sold in two shops, Octopus’s Garden In Milville and the Always by Inspired Thrift Shop and Unique Boutique in Egg Harbor City. Milville seems to really be hitting my target demographic, and I couldn’t be happier. Egg Harbor City is off to a slower start, but I feel fortunate just to be out there, so a few bucks here and there are still greatly appreciated. I was the featured artist at Third Friday back in November and was able to premier some new upcycled goodies, including but not limited to: wish bracelets, dictionary necklaces, and upcycled glass magnets. It was a blast and seeing people interact with the things I made was a great experience.

The Online Marketplace:
Etsy. My number of views is significantly down. My numbers of orders is up, which is what matters to me. Nine orders in the last 30 days. Now I know that’s hardly considered to be setting the world on fire, but it is progress in the right direction. Keep moving forward. I would like to go back after the New Year and photograph all my items again. I saw a tutorial on making your own light box and I’m feeling quite empowered on this little upswing.

Social Media:
I’ve never been big on social media. Clearly I don’t blog half as often as I should. I don’t tweet personally or professionally. I am not an avid pinner on pinterest. I have embraced FaceBook as a marketing tool. It’s still mostly supportive friends and family, with the occasional random custom, eventually I would like to see those proportions switched. If you would like to be a part of that follow the link below. Spoiler alert, once I get more FaceBook friends I will begin doing giveaways.

So that’s a rehash of what I’ve been up to. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll come back and write again soon.
